Passion = Truth? How Jeffrey James Francis Ircink Sees The World? I love when people are passionate about something. That surging of emotion is the one honest measure of what truth is. It's a truthful display of how a person really feels about something or someone at that particular moment. That passion IS truth.

Brucemore...The Big House.


Songs, monologues....a thoroughly entertained crowd (plus wine, appetizers, champagne and desserts). That's "A Modern Salon" 2012. Hosted by Brucemore Mansion, a Queen-Anne home on 26 acres built between 1884-1886, preserved by the National Trust and listed on the National Register for Historic Places. 3 more shows next weekend. A sold-out, 3-week run. Special thanks to Jane Pini, Janelle Lauer, Doug Elliott and Gerard Estella of SPT Theatre for inviting me to be this year's special guest artist. Also thanks to David Janssen, executive director of Brucemore for allowing us to perform in this unique venue.


The formal gardens.


The stables transformed into offices, museum and gift shop. For more information, check out Brucemore's site here and the wikipedia link.

"Thank you, thank you very much. I'll be appearing at the Brucemore Estate..."

...in A Modern Salon! This is my first time performing in Iowa since December 1997 ("Jack and Jill" at Riverside Theater in Iowa City) and the first time performing in Cedar Rapids since "A Chorus Line" in....I think it was the summer of 1997.

In its 9th year, A Modern Salon takes its inspiration from the Parisian salons of the early first half of the 20th century, offering an evening of great music, lively stories, and engaging conversation. Not only will I be performing in the company of such talented theater friends - (left to right in picture above) Jane Pini, Janelle Lauer, Doug Elliott and Gerard Estella  - but I get to perform at Brucemore, the 128-year-old Queen Anne mansion preserved by the National Trust and listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Here's an interactive look at Brucemore - feel free to peruse the entire website. We'll be performing in the Great Hall (2nd picture of the Mansion Tour section) Also, here's an article on A Modern Salon, along with an interview Diana Nollen did with me on being chosen as the show's special guest artist.

Three weekends. Six shows - and we're sold out. They've added a 1/26 show but I would give Brucemore a call pronto for availability. CURTAIN UP!

TGIF! presents...Mendelssohn's Overture to "A Midsummer Night's Dream". Op. 21.



Headed to Cedar Rapids, Iowa today for the weekend to see The Classics at Brucemore: "A Midsummer Night's Dream" and to have a read-thru of my one-act play, "Reveille!", with actresses, Marty and Megan. I'm producing a staged play reading of the play in September at Trimborn Farm in Greendale, WI.

It's been 12 years (since I moved to Cali) that I'd seen The Classics at Brucemore. I'm excited.
